Thanks so much to the author, Netgalley and the Publisher for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I read about half of this book. It's a slow, strange, sad story composed of memories and flashbacks from a woman living in a care pod in orbit, waiting to give birth. The earth has undergone profound climate changes and the people left live in a caste system delineated by technology, adaptations and surface/ inside the wall/ outside the wall locations. It is a very interesting society. I enjoyed seeing the different places that the character sees and how her impressions develop. There's a lot about the nature of experiencing space and how the experiences you have change how you interact with and understand spaces.

I couldn't finish this because it made me too sad. Sometimes I'm all for a sad book, but I simply couldn't keep going with this one at this time. I hope that's a positive reflection on the quality and emotional tenor of the book - it was too good at what it did.

I'm sure many people will enjoy this and I would have a lot more at a different time.
